Custom Cataract Surgery Options Discussed on The Morning Blend

Practice News

Dr. John Vukich and Dr. Nicholas Bruns of Summit Eye Care of Wisconsin recently joined The Morning Blend to discuss how cataract surgery has evolved—and how it’s now more personalized than ever. They explained that today’s patients have access to premium options that don’t just restore clarity but also reduce dependence on glasses.

Cataracts occur when the eye’s natural lens becomes cloudy, blocking or scattering light and causing symptoms like blurry vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. While cataracts are a natural part of aging, Dr. Bruns emphasized the importance of timely treatment. Waiting too long can make surgery more challenging and delay the opportunity for improved vision.

Traditional cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear synthetic one. But as Dr. Vukich noted, modern techniques now go a step further—correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism during surgery. Patients can even choose premium lenses that align with their lifestyle and vision goals, including the Light Adjustable Lens™, which allows post-operative fine-tuning of vision using special light treatments rather than additional surgery.

This high level of customization means that outcomes are based on the patient’s daily needs. Whether someone needs sharp distance vision for driving or prefers stronger near vision for reading or crafting, cataract surgery can be tailored to meet those specific preferences.

Summit Eye Care is proud to offer these advanced technologies and premium lens options to help patients achieve the best possible visual outcomes. Schedule a consultation today to find out if customized cataract surgery is right for you.
